Awesome, thank you both for your responses. I'll make the needed changes and post an updated screenshot tomorrow.

Woke up to a very fast heartbeat and feeling sick. Changed the pressure support from 4 to 2 so see if it would get of the central apnea's. Felt like i was hyperventilating. Any ideas?

RustApnea nothing jumps out at me from your graphs causing the feelings you were having do you think it could be anxiety related ?

Very possibly could be. My breathing just feels very disordered.

At a high level the VAuto does nothing to order your breathing it follows your lead maintaining a constant minimum pressure (epap) in your airways, to prevent the airways closing and obstructing your airway (Obstructive Apnoea).

RE: Few suggestions please for newbie.
With mainly central apnea showing, the correct response was to reduce PS, so you were on the right track. Give PS 2 another try an if necessary, we can reduce that further.

RE: Few suggestions please for newbie.
Thank you for the input Jaswilliams and Sleeprider. I raised the PS to 3 since it seems to be more comfortable at a higher level. I ended up taking off the mask around 4 am due to some irregular breathing with it. I have been having a problem with insomnia for the past 6 years, so i have been expecting myself to have a problem with UARS more so than OSA. First few nights of the Bipap felt somewhat restorative, then not so much after that. Keep waking up with a higher heartrate, might try to use my wife's Galaxy watch to see if it persists the whole night. i really appreciate all of the help im being given. Just want to put this whole matter to bed

RE: Few suggestions please for newbie.
Finally got the results from my home sleep test. Looks like i do have sleep apnea and probably have had it for some years. Strange though that i don't snore and my wife never noticed my breathing stopping during the night. Anyway this test could be wrong? I had used Lofta's basic 189 dollar test.
adding more screen shots.
